No injuries and improvement from the 2nd units is all I want. Less Clemens would also be nice.

10 Chargers to Watch vs. the Saints

The Los Angeles Chargers continue preseason play tonight against the New Orleans Saints. How many snaps each player will receive is unknown, but here are 10 players to keep your eye on throughout the game:
CB Desmond King DE Chris McCain TE Sean Culkin Jeff Cumberland and Sean McGrath banged up, and Asante Cleveland placed on the reserve-injured list, the undrafted free agent out of Missouri proved to be a capable blocker in the preseason opener. With starters such as Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry expected to see limited snaps once again, the hulking 6-5, 255-pound Culkin should once again have an opportunity to make his mark.
WR Artavis Scott LB Nick Dzubnar Denzel Perryman out for several weeks after undergoing ankle surgery. A special teams standout as a rookie in 2015, Dzubnar missed most of last season with an ACL injury. All eyes will be on the L.A. native to see how he fits in with the first-team defense against the Saints.
LB Korey Toomer RB Austin Ekeler CB Michael Davis QB Cardale Jones P Drew Kaser Toby Baker had an impressive showing as well, averaging 45.7 yards on three punts with a long of 55 while landing one inside the 20.
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.

I wouldnt mind seeing Clemens work with the 1's. I wouldn't even play Rivers. Clemens would probably throw a few hospital passes however.

Lynn said the starters could play a couple series against the Saints, depending on how many plays they go in the first series.
Along with more consistent offensive line play, here are five things to watch when the Chargers face the Saints:
Limit turnovers:The Chargers turned the ball over four times against the Seattle Seahawks
Play with energy: Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley mentioned that his defense did not play with enough juice last week, particularly after they made a big play. So that will be a focal point of the defense on Sunday, playing with more passion and energy.
Run the football effectively: The Chargers totaled 72 rushing yards last week, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry. They need to be more efficient running the football on Sunday.
Make tackles in space:Jason Verrett could see his first preseason action against the Saints.
Get off the field healthy: With guard Forrest Lamp (knee) already out for the year and linebacker Denzel Perryman (ankle) out at least two months, Lynn needs to make sure he keeps some of the front-line players healthy so they are ready for the regular season in three weeks.
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

Whatever downs our starters play, they just need to keep winning. Backups... sure learn, grow, develop, blah blah, but Seattle's starting D barely slowed our starting O, and I don't think Seattle got any points on the board until our starters starting coming off the field. Just saying.
